VILLANOVA, PA - As the Villanova men's basketball team boarded their bus Tuesday night, coach Jay Wright thanked the fans and alumni who came out to support his team.

Wright told PHL17, "I said, make sure you thank everybody for coming out and standing in the cold! That was my message because it’s very nice and it’s not just about us, it’s about the entire university and the whole Nova Nation, and we represent them and we're fortunate to be in that position.”

The team will play the Radford Highlanders in their first round game at 6:40 p.m. Thursday night.
